Onomatopoeia! Confetti Hearts Quilts

Cosmic Crush Quilt Pattern Test: Cool Hued Octopus Version

Summer Sampler 2019
If you’re a quilt enthusiast, and you follow the various quilters of Instagram (quiltstagram), you might start to think that quilt makers just churn these puppies out, a quilt in a day, 10 quilts a month.

I don’t often make quilts that are intended for me to keep. Sometimes I fall in love with a quilt and keep it for myself, but there are only so many quilts that a family in Southern California needs in one house. But this is a bee quilt!

Maximum Halloween

Airstream Road Trip Quilt
Even as I pulled out fabrics for this project, long before it was born, I had a picture in my head of one of those vintage Airstream trailers that I’ve made whole Pinterest boards about, even though I will never own one. Like a little gnome hut, made of chrome, my fantasy Airstream was cherry red with lots of glossy oak finishes inside.

Moon Bunnies Quilt
Today I want to share the Moon Bunnies quilt that I made using beautiful Art Gallery fabrics, mostly from collections designed by Maureen Cracknell, whose moon bunny print from her Nightfall collection was the central inspiration.

In the beginning
While working on the monochromatic minimalist quilt, I must have been subconsciously sending a message into the universe to send me the exact opposite of that palette to me somehow. And it worked. And now the very next piece I’m tasked with creating contains no part of the grayscale. I have put away my black, pewter, and charcoal solids and am now completely buried in saturated color prints in 24 hues and a large number of yellow stars.
